About

Alright, listen up; numbers don't lie. You got PunkBand, Rats Nest, GLU, Equals What, Magpie Conspiracy, and Bang Bang Bunny—six bands. June 25th. Fiddler's Elbow. London.

Now, let's do the math. Each of these bands, they're bringin' some serious 'E' for energy, okay?

So, that's 5E. Now, you factor in the Fiddler's Elbow, a compact space, right? That's gonna amplify that 'E', like a mathematical multiplier. We're talkin' 5E times a 'compression factor', 'C'. 5EC.

Now, you got a variable 'P', the number of punks in attendance. But here's the kicker: this ain’t your average 'P'.

This 'P' is gonna be off the charts! We're talkin' about exponential growth!

So, while you're dividing 5EC by 'P', 'P' is gonna be so HUGE, it's gonna create a singularity of punk energy! A mathematical black hole of mosh pits!

So, the math says:

You got a 100% chance of these bands playin', a 100% chance of insane energy, and a 100% chance of me doin' the math and tellin' you, this ain't no ordinary gig.

This is a mathematical certainty of pure, unadulterated punk chaos! June 25th. Fiddler's Elbow. Do the math...

This is an 18+ event.

The Station’s unique brand of raucous rock’n’roll optimism is blasting the grassroots indie scene through the roaring 2020s, and with recent sellout shows from London to Sheffield they are fast becoming one of the hottest bands on the UK circuit.

Now their music has a growing following up and down the country; bolstered by hundreds of live appearances each year; with a momentum driven by their passion for unity, penchant for groove, and promise that ‘It’ll Be OK’. In the last year they released two new singles, played countless shows (including their first gig abroad in Bilbao), received BBC radio airtime, and expanded to a four-piece. The Station’s momentum is building and it’s time to join the ride.

(Doors open at 1pm and close promptly at 5pm).

*** TICKETS ON THE DOOR £13 CASH ONLY ***

tickets here

Constructed around the enduring nucleus of Sid Truelove and Zillah Minx, Rubella
Ballet formed at a gig in 1979 when Crass invited their audience to use their
equipment. Rubella Ballet assembled a diverse range of material that
encompassed all points from perky to doomy, with lyrics that juxtaposed protest and
dissent against more impressionistic themes. Danger of Death their last album, was a hit with critics and the group’s faithful following and drew upon a lifetime’s opposition to oppression and exploitation. Many cite it as the band’s crowning achievement.

Brigandage started in 1981 to remind people of the glory, colour and inclusiveness of 1976! There have been many members along the way but this version includes Terry, a founding member of Sex Gang Children, on bass; Carl of the Chefs and more, is our guitar hero and Alan takes care of the drumming.
Family of Strangers formed in Nov '23 and have loads of punk rock service under their belts. Inspired by legendary punk bands like Penetration, The Damned, The Cramps, UK Subs and Rancid, Family of Strangers delivers a raw and powerful sound. *Punktuation magazine (R.Rae) had this to say "the likes of ‘Dressed To Kill’ and ‘Disintegration Nation’ rank among the best of pogo-worthy punk tunes. Everything they play is delivered with the confidence and panache you’d expect of a headline band”.

ticket link

AUGER, fronted by Kyle Blaqk, are the hyper-melodic, genre-fluid, dark music act. They burst onto an unsuspecting scene in mid-2017 and since then have released 4 albums and performed in 70 cities spanning 9 countries. Establishing their sound through the fusion of rock and electronic styles with deep vocals and a sharp pop sense.

To date, Auger have released four albums: ‘The Awakening’ (2017), ‘From Now On I’ (2019), ‘Insurgence’ (2020), and ‘Nighthawks’ (2022). All four have entered the top 5 of the Deutsche Alternative Charts. DarkTunes Music Group (DE) released the first three albums (distributed by Soul Food Distribution), but since then, AUGER has released music via their label, The Big Chair.

Auger’s latest album is Nighthawks. The fourth album in their discography, and yet in many ways, their first. After three albums, a pallet of collaborations, covers and singles, Auger have carved and solidified their sound. This new album, inspired by American art, is the embodiment of that, their piece de resistance.
